I have these meetings with really powerful men and they ask me all the time, 'Where are your kids? Are your kids here?' It's such a weird question. Never in a million years do I ask guys where their kids are. It would be comparable to me going to a guy, 'Do you feel like you see your kids enough?'

Bill and Hillary Clinton are married, so under the law, paying him for a speech is like giving money directly to her [Hillary Clinton] - to the Secretary of State. I cannot think of a comparable 'pay to play' scandal.

Image
It is not often that nations learn from the past even rarer that they draw the correct conclusions from it. For the lessons of historical experience, as of personal experience, are contingent.
